Logo's is the worse Book Store in Santa Cruz – Don't Bother!!!!!
The customer service in this store is non existant. Lazy does not begin to cover it. The help is trained in how to be rude, covered in tatoos, dirty and some of them smell. I was treated unfairly with rudeness. You can't ask a question without a nasty remark or rude behavior. I find the store is dirty, the help nasty and the books outdated. Most of the books are bizarre subjects. If you are a serious reader, this store is not for you. NO Steinbeck or Faulkener to be found. Obvious it is frequented by a bizarre crowd of people. Go down the street to Borders for a book shopping experience you will enjoy and to experience a lovely store.
Where Used Books Dream of Being Sold – The thing about Logos is that they love books and music. You get the feeling that the people who work there actually like what they do. Prices are good, selection is impeccable, and the staff can actually help you find what you want.
A great bookstore in a town full of great bookstores.

Nov 15, 2007
It's not uncommon in the polarizing world of Talk Shows that one person is held as a hero by one side of the political spectrum and a villain by the other. What is odd, however, is to have talkers from both the political right and left cheering that person on— if for opposite reasons.
So it was for Rep. Dennis Kucinich last week as he took to the House floor November 6 to introduce a measure to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney for having "manipulated the intelligence process" leading to the Iraq War.
After the measure passed the House and moved to the Judiciary Committee, over moves by the Democratic leadership to kill it, the cheers from the left side of the talk dial could hardly be contained – along with some encouraging jeers from the right.

New England Region Day - November 20, 2008
New England is well known for its beauty, history, and culture. Four distinct seasons conjure up images of the wonderful delights awaiting those who visit many picturesque locations. Lazy summers afford the opportunity to explore miles of beaches along New Englands coastline and savor world-renowned seafood specialties. Brilliant autumns, with their fall foliage, blanket the country side in red and gold. Crystal sharp winters bring snow-laden mountain slopes to challenge any skiers prowess. The lush green colors of spring provide a pleasant backdrop for picnics and hiking on a multitude of New England trails.
Each of the six New England states Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont offers vacationers a unique experience. Historic sites date back to our nations founding while modern casinos boast to be the largest in the country. Rolling green landscapes in small town villages are not far from metropolitan areas filled with industry and cultural activities. Majestic mountains overlook miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean waters.
It is rare to find another region with such diverse features. Join us at the Boston NABC and find out why New England remains high on the list for many travelers.

Maine State Day - November 21, 2008
Maine is a vacation land encompassing nearly all of the outdoor beauty and cultural pleasures that New England offers as a whole. The northern and inner regions welcome whitewater rafters, skiers, snowmobilers, hunters, and fishermen with their mountains, majestic forests, and abundant lakes and streams. The coastline is sprinkled with lighthouses that send out their beacons and mournful hoots for mariners. One highlight of the coastal region is the magnificent Acadia National Park, where early-morning hikers can watch the sun rise in the first place in the United States. Old Orchard Beach and Kennebunkport are family attractions in southeast Maine with several miles of spectacular ocean beach. No outdoorsman has seen it all until they visit Baxter State Park and Mount Kathadin, which is larger in size than the state of Rhode Island.
Maines towns and cities have made an effort to preserve much of their 18th- and 19th-century neighborhoods. These elegant buildings now are often the home of excellent resttaurants (dont miss the lobster), galleries, antique stores, and unique, charming shops. Coastline cities and towns welcome visitors to watch the action at their working harbors, where private and commercial fishing boats move in and out among pleasure boats, ferries to Canada, and whale-watch cruise boats. Portland, the largest city in Maine, which was first settled in 1632, has preserved much of its "old port" neighborhood. The Kittery Outlets have over 120 shops and L.L. Bean in Freeport attracts thousands of shoppers annually.
Historic inns and B&Bs, many of which were once sea captains homes, let you rest in places where history was made. Resorts and hotels along the coast and inland offer a variety of lodging services. Maine is the place to go for cool summer breezes, biking along the sea, shopping for bargains, or discovering New Englands seafaring past. With its inland mountains, rocky coastline, and charming cities, Maine offers the entire palette of New Englands pleasures.

Massachusetts State Day - November 22, 2008
Boston in November is a wonderful city to explore, with outstanding historical, cultural and recreational activities. The Freedom Trail is a "dont miss" opportunity to walk through our countrys early history, following the red footprints from Boston Common to the USS Constitution. Many theaters are within walking distance of the host hotels, or a short taxi ride away. Youll find touring companies of the most popular Broadway shows and regional theater productions of Broadway quality can be found at prices New York hasnt seen in years. For sports enthusiasts tickets are usually available at a premium for Celtics and Bruins games in Boston proper. Our New England Patriots are in suburban Foxboro, a short ride away, and tickets may be purchased from brokers.
November weather can be unpredictable, but often quite mild given the time of year. Our location is ideal for getting out and walking to window-shop, people-watch and take in one of the most beautiful and walkable cities in our country. For thhose who attended the 1999 Boston Fall NABC you may recall that the weather was so mild you could lunch outdoors at many nearby restaurants.
On Saturday November 22nd, the host state of Massachusetts has some special plans for bridge players joining us in Boston.

Hartford Bridge Club Day - November 23, 2008
The Hartford Bridge Club is the oldest, continuously running, member-owned bridge club in North America. Located in Hartford, CT the club has grown from fewer than 50 members in 1931 to over 500 players on todays roster. In 2006 we celebrated our 75th year in operation!
Players from novices to professionals have joined us at our bridge tables. One of the highlights in the clubs history includes a visit from Charles Goren. In 1945 he accepted an invitation to come to the Hartford Bridge Club to play in a tournament event. Club members were extremely pleased to have the presence of such a highly regarded bridge icon.
The clubs successful tenure is a tribute to the many volunteers who carry out a wide variety of programs to make the club more player-friendly. Numerous educational programs offer both beginners and intermediate players an opportunity to learn the game and improve their skills. By partnering with adult education programs in surrounding communities, we have expanded our contacts throughout the region and added new members to our club. In-house, we have instituted "warm touches" to make members feel more welcome, including a daily pairer player, who is available for anyone who comes in without a partner; a club librarian who manages an inflow of books for the reading pleasure of our members; a group of younger members who transport elderly members to and from the club; and, of course, an extensive array of refreshments for each of the dozen weekly games.
In recognition for its numerous efforts to promote the game of bridge, the Harford Bridge Club was honored as a recipient of the Jane Johnson Club of the Year Award in 2004. Our club is very pleased to be asked to sponsor a day at the 2008 Boston Nationals. When you stop by our table we would like to share some special moments from our history and a souvenir from our members. Please come by and see for yourself why our motto remains to be "The Club with a Heart".

Rhode Island State Day - November 26, 2008
The State of Rhode Island, whose official name is the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, consists of 5 counties - Bristol, Kent, Newport, Providence, and Washingtonseven cities and 32 towns. Providence, Rhode Islands largest city and the state capital, was founded by Roger Williams in 1636. On May 4, 1776, Rhode Island was the first state to declare its independence from England and the last of the 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution. Many buildings, including some private homes, date back to colonial times.
Rhode Island ranks 44th of the 50 states in population. Despite being the smallest state, Rhode Island has more than 300 miles of coastline and many rivers and lakes within its borders. The most prominent feature of the state is Narragansett Bay, which contains many small islands. Block Island is located 10 miles south of the mainland. The western part of the state is heavily forested, containing many fresh water lakes, ponds, and rivers to appeal to the non-seafaring visitor. Historic features include the Blackstone River, which is considered to be the first industrial river in the state, and the first textile mill in America standing along the banks of the river in Pawtucket, which has been converted into a museum.
For bridge trivia enthusiasts our state has something special to share. According to the bridge encyclopedia, Harold S. Vanderbilt of Newport, Rhode Island was the man who revised the scoring principles of auction bridge into the modern game of duplicate bridge enjoyed by millions today. Many of the early bidding systems were attributed to Vanderbilt. Come visit our display table on Rhode Island State Day and find out what other interesting facts our small state has to share with you.

New Hampshire State Day - November 28, 2008
New Hampshires bridge community takes great pride in seeing the NABC return to Boston for the first time in nine years. Just north of the Massachusetts border, New Hampshire is an excellent place in which to live and raise a family but also boasts many attractions for visitors. New Hampshire enjoys all four seasons, from a winter wonderland of popular skiing venues, to a summer haven for beach and lake enthusiasts, to a major annual destination for "leaf peepers" during fall foliage season. Improvements in highway design have made it easier to traverse the state, both north-south and east-west. For those arriving by air, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport offers many options for avoiding larger hubs and lengthy commutes.
New Hampshire is rich in history and tourist spots. The state abounds with small towns established in post-revolutionary times and mills that were once major centers of manufacturing. Over time, many of the states mills have been refurbished to serve the needs of a changing economy yet maintaining their heritage. The states largest citiesNashua, Manchester and Concordform the backbone of the southern tier, and are located close to Boston, the Atlantic Ocean, the White Mountains, Vermont and Maine, and eastern Canada, our great neighbor to the north. One major draw to this Granite State is a drive on the Mount Washington Auto Road. With the ever-changing weather conditions on this highest peak in New England, no two trips are ever the same and continue to lure travelers back. Beautiful Lake Winnipesauke is another key vacation spot . It is New Hampshires largest lake and the third largest in New England, spanning over 21 miles.
New Hampshire and ACBL Unit 150 welcome you to the Fall NABC. We hope you visit our display table to learn more about our state and that you will plan to visit the Granite State soon. Our doors are always open.

Vermont State Day - November 29, 2008
Vermont is the place to simply stand still and enjoy the beauty of outdoors and nature. Jacques Cartier first saw the area in 1535. On July 30, 1609 French explorer Samuel de Champlain claimed t what is now Lake Champlain, giving the mountains the appellation "les Verts Monts" (the Green Mountains). It seems fitting that Vermont is known as the Green Mountain State, since it is one of Americas most eco-friendly states, with green hotels, organic farms and enthusiastic recycling. The lush green landscape, including its beautiful mountains and farmlands, provides a backdrop for hiking, biking, fishing or paddling through the cool forests.
Vermont is best known for its ski season and gorgeous fall foliage. Numerous white frosted mountains provide miles of trails for skiing, snow tubing, or boarding. After all, the snowboard is a great Vermont invention. Foliage season brings mile after mile of trees with leaves turned to red, gold and purple. The brightest reds are maples and the sugar maples are tapped in the spring for their sap which is boiled down to make its famous maple syrup. It is the only New England state without an ocean shoreline, but most of its western border is the historic and lovely Lake Champlain.
Visitors taking Vermont vacations receive a cozy, often old-fashioned welcome, at lodgings that can range from small B&Bs to country inns to modern resorts with spas and other luxuries. Historic sites feature the people and places of the American Revolution. Fascinating museums as well as art, theater and music venues help offset the abundant outdoor and winter activities. There is shopping in country stores, galleries, museum stores, or at sprawling outlet communities. Regardless of whether you are looking for outdoor or indoor adventures, there is something special for all who travel to Vermont, truly a state for all seasons.

"Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him. The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations." (Psalm 98:1-2 NIV)
An Indispensible Union!
Finding myself in the presence of God; always communing!
It's a fusion-as I'm joined with my creator in consistent renewing.
"I can do all things through Christ!" So, that's what I'm constantly doing!
Jesus is my all in all!
I'm satisfied with this great friend-my Powerball!
Here's his incessant call-'recognize' our bond to him as Lord of all!
We're to Shout out loud! Sing for joy! And tell God he's ours forevermore!
We shed that life of Cheating, lying, fornicating, & gambling in our neighborhoods, workplaces and halls.
Once entering the kingdom of God, we pledge not to do that at all!
There's no condemnation in Christ, and he'll help us get right, should we stall.
"Peace I give to you" is what to say when you seem to crawl.
Practice listening to his voice, instead of the worries you install.
Dear Pastor Glovioell,
'W' is for wondering; 'O' is for overwhelmed; 'R' is for rat race, 'R' is for ruined, 'Y' is for yelling scared inside my heart. Those letters spell: WORRY!
Worry Wart
Dear Worry Wart,
I no longer call you worry wart-I called you 'Peaceful!'
The name that is proclaimed is the claim that's framed.
I speak into your heart, in the name of Jesus, that it is peace you've gained.
'W' is for Wonderful Savior who gives me faith; 'O' is for Oh, Happy Day, when Jesus took death on the cross in my place; 'R' is for the Righteousness I now have through Christ; 'R' is for Recognizing he'll never leave me nor forsake me, no matter what my plight. 'Y' is for yearning for more grace.
Call on Jesus!
Read his Holy Word. It's such a precious slate!
Here are some supporting scriptures, by the way:
Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12, Hebrews 13:5, 2 Corinthians 4:13-18
Love and God Bless,
Pastor Glovioell

By Lyle Bunn
BUNN Co.
As it is with most good stories, the best lies ahead for the dynamic signage sector.
My year-end summaries over the past 10 years have reflected on sustained double-digit industry growth; noted the price/performance maturation of technology components and the ease of their integration; celebrated critical mass and the "tipping point" of installed ad-based displays; and applauded the entry of billion-dollar companies as suppliers in the sector while compelling attention to analytics and the need to improve content.
And 2012 has seen its share of important stories and trends, though these less dazzling than those of previous years. At an estimated $7 billion in annual revenues, growing on all accounts at a continued, double-digit compound annual growth rate, employing an estimated 50,000 professionals, as messages are presented on more than 2 million networked out-of-home displays, the dynamic place-based media sector is moving beyond its early adolescence as it quietly moves forward in providing competitive advantage to end-users and their capable suppliers.
The most important industry news items of 2012 were generally not published or profiled, as non-disclosure agreements and project privacy shrouded initiatives and kept them from public (and competitor) view.
Confidentiality related to the use and business impact of the media is the torturing knife that twists in the side of dynamic signage industry growth...
One imagines how many marketing, agency and business executives have wondered at the value that the McDonald's McCafé menu/promotion board delivers, or have been impressed by the engagement value of the medical waiting room displays of Care Media. Ad and internal messages on digital place-based deliver high value.
"Owned" media is the dominant communications force in customer, patron, staff and student engagement. End-users in food services, retail, banking, entertainment and other patron-based organizations have moved into the "early majority" phase to establish dynamic signage networks as part of their "owned" media and communications infrastructure. Many sought to better integrate this medium with other owned devices such as Internet/intranet, publications, brand signage, apps, etc., as well as with "paid" and "earned" media. "Proof-of-concept" projects generally have moved to build out, at varying pace based on the analytics that are used, and many networks are moving to integrate with "audience-of-one" approaches through functional improvement and content.
The fact that few significant case studies have been released, that industry award nominees typically offered very little information about the business benefits achieved, and that few end-user/vertical market conferences carried dynamic signage education sessions (these are typically member-directed association events) are indicators that dynamic signage is seen as providing significant business value and competitive advantage for the organizations that use it.
Too seldom in 2012 were there instances as seen at Digital Signage Expo when digital signage project executives of Zion Bank were part of the show floor booth of Broadcast International. They answered all questions about their project planning, deployment and operating experience, while showing their support for this "owned" medium and Broadcast International as its supplier. Zion Bank was recognized with a Digital Screenmedia Association Crown Award as the best financial services deployment in 2012.
This shrouded activity was reflected in the supply side of the industry too, as significant industry providers worked behind the scenes and emerged in 2012 stronger through internal restructuring. Examples include IZÂON, the retail and food services network operator formerly known as Premier Retail Networks; as well as Broadsign (which was the first to offer a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, supply model); and the broadcast division of Harris Corp., of which the Digital Media Group is part, announced new ownership. Ad-based network operators such as RMG Networks (travel media) and Care Media Holdings (medical waiting area media) have been diligent and are flag-bearers for the ad-based sector.
The failures that 2012 has seen will result in project correction or attrition in 2013. Projects that might soar in the value that they provide, do falter, fail or under-perform due to the lack of wide support and, primarily, the lack of the application of knowledge. Elusive success will inspire review, re-positioning and the examination of alternative approaches on the part of some ad-based and corporate networks, while these same approaches are used by successful networks to refine and scale their operations for economies and efficiencies. 2013 is all about optimization.
And 2013 will be another positive year in the decades-long success story that is dynamic signage and digital place-based media, in particular for diligent project directors and suppliers. Specifically:
- As Health Care Reform legislation, in particular Section 4205 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, is implemented, the food services sector will substantially increase their use of dynamic place-based media. This use will spur interest and use in other sectors. Projects in retail, financial services, consumer services, health care and for corporate communications will advance in this current "post-cutting, must-build" economic climate.
- In realizing that successful dynamic signage use and supply is the application of knowledge, proven training programs available online and from industry associations will offer an ongoing foundation of project and professional success. Experimentation and "trial and error" continually give way to structured processes and proven approaches. Underperforming projects and investments will be reviewed and re-positioned.
- Static signage and digital graphics providers will continue to become a supply force of dynamic signage as the International Sign Association offers its members and affiliate regional associations education and resources.
- Increased integration with data and information feeds, as well as with "paid," "earned," social, mobile and proximity media will increase the relevance and the business value of dynamic media.
- Aggregation of display inventory, which has had extremely limited success and sector impact, has a clear path to success during 2013 through operational cooperation. Ad revenue achievement challenges on the part of ad-based networks, the maturing of ad sales and trafficking platforms, and the availability of the ad management and inventory software layer will improve the efficiencies of media commerce on the part of digital place-based networks.
- Agencies will show more enthusiasm for dynamic place-based media as their clients become more demanding and look to better integrate "owned" with "paid" media. The champions of place-based media are the brands themselves, the professional teams of which are ultimately responsible for brand success. It is this brand-driven commitment that is motivating change in favor of brand growth by contributors such as agencies. The fierce competition among agencies and the inherent focus on value and performance to brand client is a point of opportunity to agencies and to the brands they serve.
- Managed services will become a primary supply option. The convergence of hardware management and cloud services with the need to treat digital signage as an operating, and less as a capital, expense positions the opportunity for managed services organizations and supply approaches to emerge as a significant market option. Ad-based network operators, turnkey system providers and providers of other business-related managed services are well positioned to benefit from this natural trend in sourcing and supply. "C suite" engagement (CFO, CIO with CMO) will drive outsourcing.
- Strong supply capability will become stronger, resulting in revenue consolidation around those firms that have built and serve a client base. New suppliers risk being driven to low margin and niche opportunities and being "also-rans" as key business deployments go to proven suppliers.
- Improved research on the sector, the lack of which has stalled investment internally and externally, will become available. This is a must for the growth of the sector.
In summary, the sector has moved beyond the "wild west" stage of the post-9/11 economy, through a period of technology development and deployment in the mid to late 2000's, and is finding its place as a communications and engagement medium, linking and leveraging other media assets and delivering value by "moving the needle" on revenues and providing business operating economies.
The "mystery" around the technologies that underpin dynamic signage is waning as end-users realize that technologies are but part of the business ecosystem required in order for benefits to be realized through the enabling effect of these digital technologies.
The planning and operating construct are clear and well proven. The starting point for investment and optimization is in stating the business value to be realized. Then to define the "content" required to achieve these goals. This is followed by the identification, selection, deployment and operation of the technology infrastructure required to present the content that will achieve the business goals.
Bunn is a recognized contributor to the success of dynamic media use and supply through his analysis, advisory services and training. He has assisted many hundreds of networks, published more than 250 papers and serves on numerous advisory, event and award panels.

Tucker convertible removed from Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction
Photo courtesy Barrett-Jackson.
Those of you waiting for the next chapter in the saga of the Tucker convertible will have to wait a little longer: The controversial car has been pulled from Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction, where it was scheduled to cross the block in a few weeks.
Barrett-Jackson confirmed yesterday that the Tucker convertible will not go up for auction, noting that "the consignor simply decided not to sell it," offering no further explanation.
Claimed to be the only Tucker 48 built as a two-door convertible, the Tucker has drawn criticism from many collector car enthusiasts, including Jay Follis of the Tucker Automobile Club of America, who issued a statement in 2009 noting that the club has found no evidence that the factory ever built such a car. Justin Cole of Benchmark Classics in Madison, Wisconsin, who owned the car at the time and undertook its restoration, nevertheless presented it as a one-off prototype secretly built at about the time when pilot production of Preston Tucker's four-door, air-cooled, rear-engined sedan ended. Cole initially offered the Tucker for sale for $5 million, then later dropped his price to $3.99 million. When it crossed the block at the January 2010 Russo and Steele Scottsdale auction, it bid up to $1.4 million but failed to meet Cole's reserve.
Barrett-Jackson's description for the Tucker, which was slated to cross the block as part of the auction's Salon Collection and thus with a reserve, called it a "rare original Tucker (that) has been customized into a convertible." Cole's number at Benchmark Classics has since been disconnected, so he was unable to be reached for comment.
Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction will take place January 13-20. For more information, visit Barrett-Jackson.com.

seem's to me there's a need for a Tucker kit car company.
Really enjoyed reading the"OLDER COMMENTS". They had a lot of info on the Tucker convertible that I didn't know about. Great job, Hemmings!
Reading the blog comments is one of the great laughs of recent weeks for me. The sole issue is that THE SELLER DELIBERATELY MIS-STATED THE PARENTAGE AND HISTORY OF THIS CAR. HIS BUSINESS'S OWN WEBSITE IDENTIFIED THE CAR NOT AS SOMETHING BUILT BY TUCKER CORPORATION, BUT A CUSTOM BUILT OUT OF A 4-DOOR SEDAN. There is an ongoing court case in Indiana over a mis-represented Dusenburg and other cases are before the courts where a buyer paid top $$$ because of the car's supposed history and correctness.
If the car was presented in the auction materials as a one-of custom car and not a factory prototype we wouldn't all be here.
Boy, do you ever check out what you say before you say something? You do have Google search on your computer, don't you? I know about that Indiana Duesenburg case and it was not because it was "misrepresented" for it really was Randolf Hurst's real car. The problem was the former owners of the car, Durham and his associate, were at the auction bidding against a phone bidder named James Scott. They got the phone bidder up to up to 2.9 million and that is against the rules of the auction and against the law. Scott sued because they had defrauded him and they also didn't get a title for the car, after he had payed for it. Durham had given the title a collateral for a bank loan and encumbered it. Again car was not at all misrepresented for it being Randolf Hurst's actual Duesenburg. Please get your facts right before you misrepresent something. Your research is very much lacking!
It could be Mr. Jack does not know what he is talking about! To much babbling!
Ah, yes, those who purport imperfections become imperfect themselves. A lesson that should not escape most of us!
I take that back, I was really enjoying reading the older comments. But then someone kept repeating themselves and it was hard to get through to the facts or back to the facts. I think the Tucker has been represented as a custom as I understood in reading the former comments, if I am not mistaken. I read it 3 times through and not to differ from the above responder, but are you sure you have read all the previous comments. I think your not reading or not understanding what your reading. I noticed in reading your comments, you keep repeating yourself with same theme. To each his own, but it's a little off the cuff.
If I seem to repeat myself, it shouild be noted that many of the postings ask in their own ways, 'what's the big deal?'. While it is a very well done one-off custom job, the seller had no right to represent it to the auction company as a factory-built prototype. Besides getting himself into trouble for fraud and mis-representation, the auction company could be exposed to civil and criminal penalties by repeating the seller's claims as to the car's parentage. This is serious.
By the way, there is no William Randoph HURST as far as I am aware. I know of a William Randolph HEARST who owned a Dusenburg (among other makes of car). Talk about someone not knowing what they are talking about!
Fact checking seems like it would be in order here, before stating inaccurate or false information. Other wise it becomes misleading, no matter how much a person tries to spin it.
Well, you can't really build a case for the owner's "misrepresentation", if your also using misrepresented information to support your argument. That would negate your own premise.
It's like the pot calling the kettle black! Now that is serious!
Hope Mr. Jack not exposed to civil and criminal penalties for repeating false information. That would be real paradox!
I think Dusenburg is supposed the be spelled Duesenberg!
i did alot of the hardcore metal work including door pillars,rocker/sill panels, front windshield to latch convertible top,window glass and regulators etc,,hydraulic ram posts pump and hydro lines, trunk area for the top, dutchmans panel, windows, doors latches, hinges, and conv top/mechanisim install and general fab on this tucker in question, knowing alan and meeting many others involved in this car, the representation maybe the biggest issue here, roof on or off, its still a tucker in my book!,,, BTW i did personally see a old photograph of a clay model convertible as well as a drawing,, so therfore i think i did my job ok with what i had at hand and the current stage and condition of the car where was at when justin got it from alan,
YES, a Tucker kit car company is a big idea, really !
Yow, maybe make a poop load of Tucker convertibles in fiberglass as after market models, and it would drive the price of the Customized Real Tucker convertible from 10 million down to 9 million. Seems like there would be a lot of interest based on the popularity of the convertible on here!
Ida Automotive New Tucker 48
Bob Ida's quest to honor his father's passion leads to an uncommon replica.
July 2001 BY JOHN MATRAS
there is a fiberglass kit car out there! and here is a story on it
i thought i'd google ' tucker convertible' very interesting takes on this car, , her or the cars name is or was supposed to be 'vera',,, i spent hundreds and hundreds of hours working on this particular tucker, i was one of many hands on this car after a few failed attempts , most likley starting in the factory at tucker automobiles.i can tell you exactly what the car consists of the how it was made and put together,what car manufacturer parts it has on it, i have tons of pictures and video since alan sold the car to benchmark ,,
Well, I guess that puts a lot of the naysayers of the Tucker convertible to bed. Puts one more notch on the gun handle the pro-Tucker convertible crowd! Always helps to have insider information of somebody who was there and done that!
I lived in Wisconsin when the car was "built" by a tucker owner in the Milwaukee area. A friend of mine did some of the body work on the car when it was done. There was an article in THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL, predecessor of today's JOURNAL/SENTINEL about the owner and his collection of things Tucker. In that story, he is quoted by the reporter that he is building a Tucker Convertible out of a deteriorated car so as not to take a good example out of service.
The seller refused to provide tangible proof of the originality of the vehicle; that's why it was pulled. The seller claimed "no harm no foul" because the car never went on the block as being misrepresented. It should not matter what anyone else's opinions are; it is the owner's responsibility to document any claims made on a vehicle's originality and in this case, the owner would not or could not.
I agree with the "no harm no foul" but in a somewhat different bent. I would say "no fowl have been harmed" in the formation of this car, so yes, no animals have been harmed in it's formation! That's always a good thing!

FREE TRIAL – Limited time only
The US Supreme Court has just heard one of its most
keenly-anticipated patent cases in decades, Alice v CLS
Bank. The case asks volatile questions about when software
(or, more accurately, computer-implemented inventions) and business
methods are patentable. These are subjects that ignite great
passion, with far-reaching implications in a world of ubiquitous
automation. But while predictions have been made about the
potentially dramatic significance of this case, the realities of
the dispute mean that the story may well be rather modest and
depressing -- a fact that in itself reflects the sombre state of
contemporary patent litigation.

The battle over the future of the internet has begun in earnest.
Bear with us: it's immensely technical, but it's also immensely
Because the internet first emerged, grew, and prospered in the
United States, the US government has a special
relationship and influence over what is now regarded as
a global public good. While the US is unwilling to relinquish
its role as chief internet steward, this is becoming an
increasingly untenable position, particularly as the NSA/Snowden
revelations continue to shake global confidence. Continue reading
A new word is creeping into the lexicon: Socmint. Of course, I
would say that; I was one of the people that coined the
term a few years ago, and have set myself the challenge ever since
of repeating Socmint (it stands for social media intelligence) as
many times as possible until Socmint gets into the dictionary.
Since the revelations of Edward Snowden, Socmint has had a bad
rap, even becoming, in a story Wired ran last year, the
name of a shadowy unit of the Metropolitan police. Whether a part
of the MET is called Socmint or not, its meaning is much broader:
the generation of insight from social media data in order to inform
the decisions that are taken to keep us safe. Continue reading
Everybody loves a good anniversary: a nice round number,
recurring sufficiently frequently to allow each generation to
salute the greats with a sense of meaning and occasion.
Yesterday's 25 years of the web was an altogether happy
affair, full of praise and grace. No place for vitriol on a
birthday. Nevertheless, good birthday speeches still wrap a bit of
honesty amidst warmth and loving cheek.
The honesty, in this case, should be levelled at the ramped-up
calls for an "open, neutral, and free" web where digital rights are
protected, as championed by inventor Tim Berners-Lee with
his online Magna Carta, and central to the
European Parliament's plans for a European
Digital Habeas Corpus. Quite apart from the misuse of
Latin in these circumstances -- there's something utterly bizarre
about using the web's entry into maturity as an occasion to return
to 13th Century legalese -- these calls to action overlook a
critically important first question. That question is: who governs
the internet? Or, to put it completely baldly: when is the United
States planning to share the cake? Continue reading
Conversation between man and machine is nothing new within the
world of film, as anyone who recalls Hal from Stanley Kubrick's
2001: A Space Odyssey will confirm. But Spike Jonze's
new movie "Her" and the way the central character, played by
Joaquin Phoenix, interacts with "OS1" -- a new operating system
that promises artificial intelligence of the future -- shines fresh
light on a topic that is becoming pertinent to our age.
Is Her the future of how we will engage with devices
and discover information, or will key challenges restrict this
direction of technological development? Continue reading
Economics explains a lot: it explains why house prices surge
when lending gets cheaper, why we prefer one partner over another,
and if and where we might choose to go to university. In each case,
it does so by skimming off detail until we are left with a
calculation of costs and benefits, and then assuming that we will
choose the best return.
The predictive power of economics shouldn't be surprising:
economic theories explain modern life so well because modern life
is organised according to those theories. In our complex, modern
world, taking a rational decision means trading off costs and
benefits, and we are only able to do so using the methods of
economics. The real question is whether we want to live in a world
where those calculations are the only reason for action and measure
of outcome. Continue reading
If you do indeed vote, the ballot paper you pick up in
2020 will look nothing like the one you were offered in 2015, or
2010, or indeed any before. As politics in front of our eyes seems
to be business as usual, an earthquake is rumbling under
Westminster. Two tectonic trends are beginning to crash together.
The impact has the potential to pull down the political furniture
-- the familiar reds and blues, the comforting dividing lines, the
same basic choices -- that we have grown used to over
The first of these trends is the crisis of modern
politics. For fifty years, mainstream politics has been trapped in
a downward spiral. Mainstream political parties have lost millions
of members -- now just 2% of the electorate. In 1950, 84% of the
electorate turned out to vote. In 2010, it was 65%, and less than
half of voters under the age of 24. Only a third of young
people have an interest in politics, and only half think it's their
duty to vote. Turnout is predicted to continue to
decrease as they comprise a higher and higher share of the
electorate. There are concerns the 2014 European
Parliamentary elections will have a dismal turnout, at the same
time as being the most important and consequential in the history
of the EU. Continue reading
Two common notions shape our views about entrepreneurs, and
neither is quite right. One of them imagines that they craft
careful business plans and execute them skilfully. In fact, most
new businesses don't adhere to a script. They adapt and modify as
they go along, learning from feedback and trying new
The other sees entrepreneurs as slightly wacky, possessed by
extraordinary self-belief and willing to take a bet with very long
odds. They exhibit common cognitive biases which are often
associated with bad decisions, but are useful when it comes to
starting a new business. This view, currently in vogue, isn't
right either. Continue reading
Difficulty is built into video games in a different way than for
any other medium.
A movie may be difficult, conceptually or in terms of subject

end. Continue reading
The internet -- that wonderful boundless domain where anyone can
access or provide content -- is under threat. This week, a US
constitutional challenge in the Court of Appeals for the
DC Circuit overthrew the technical principle of net neutrality and
held that internet service providers are entitled to block and
discriminate against web content at their discretion. The potential
implications of this are vast. Depending on your inclination
towards the apocalyptic, it could lead to fracturing of the
singular internet into a multiplicity of sub-nets and to an all-out
negotiation battlefield with global ramifications.
How did this come about? Essentially, the foundations of the
internet, laid by leaderless geeks and counterculture hegemony, are
sealed by the principle of "net neutrality". The idea of net
neutrality is that the price-point for accessing or
transmitting content is set at zero. Best efforts should be made to
treat all users, content and sites without discrimination. You pay
your internet service provider for a connection and, after that,
it's a free for all. Continue reading

Home > Research > Publications > Annual Reports > 1996-97 Annual Report
The Membership Office
Tim Cashion
The Membership Office took advantage of the closure of the Museum to reevaluate membership programming and activities for both local members and those far afield, a two-year process that will ultimately lead to a public membership drive after the reopening of the Museum. For 1996/97, in addition to our usual programming, we focused on recruiting lapsed members, expanding the travel program, and revamping our publications.
There were 1,191 Basic and Associate membership gifts in 1996/97 totaling $70,677.50; these figures represent a 25% and 27% increase over the previous year's figures, respectively. We thank all of those members who have loyally supported us during renovation, including the almost 100 who chose to reactivate their lapsed memberships.
The Members Lectures series - one of the few free lecture series remaining among Chicago cultural institutions - continued through the year, despite the occasional bump in the road encountered during the construction process. The return of our lectures to 8:00 pm and the reintroduction of members dining privileges at the Quadrangle Club proved quite popular, as we usually drew around seventy-five guests to the lectures. Once again, the Oriental Institute was able to collaborate with the Chicago Society of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) on several lectures; our thanks to Robert Biggs, Peter Kosiba, and David Reese for their assistance. The lecture series in detail:
9 October 1996 - Robert K. Ritner, Oriental Institute: "Seven Brides for Seven Stingers: The Scorpion Wives of Horus"
30 October 1996 - Andrew M. T. Moore: "Climatic Change and the Origin of Farming"*
2 December 1996 - Lana Troy, Uppsala University, Sweden: "Taming Hathor: Images of Power in the Ancient Egyptian Queenship"
19 February 1997 - Peter Ian Kuniholm, Cornell University: "Hard Dates and Soft Evidence: Tree-Rings and Ancient Chronology"
2 April 1997 - Richard A. Fazzini, Brooklyn Museum: "Egyptomania in American Architecture: From the Library of Congress to the Luxor Casino"
16 April 1996 - Dominic Montserrat, University of Warwick (UK): "Women and Death in Roman Egypt"
7 May 1997 - Robert Ousterhout, University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign: "In the Footsteps of Gertrude Bell: Rediscovering Cappadocia"
* Co-sponsored by the AIA
The James Henry Breasted Society met twice this year. Our now-traditional October dinner, held in the Director's Study, was held before Professor Ritner's lecture on 9 October. On 2 April members of the Society and the Visiting Committee were joined by Richard Fazzini and his wife Mary before his lecture on Egyptian influence in American architecture.
The year was highlighted by Romancing the Past, a gala benefit held at the Drake Hotel on 19 May 1997, with a keynote address by Breasted Society member and author Barbara Mertz. Jill Carlotta Maher, also a Breasted Society member and a loyal supporter of many Institute activities, was honored as the first recipient of the James Henry Breasted Medallion. The dinner, attended by 353 people and generating $100,000 in net income for the Legacy Campaign, featured a silent auction and dancing. The music of Stanley Paul proved as compelling as the auction items, as someone pulled away from the dance floor long enough to bid $10,000 for a role as a minor character in the next Amelia Peabody mystery by Elizabeth Peters (aka Barbara Mertz. We look forward to the challenge of trying to match this unforgettable evening.
The Travel Program offered two departures during the year. Associate Curator Emily Teeter, who always gives willingly of her time and expertise, took a small group of members to New York in January for the Amarna exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In March, Research Associate (Associate Professor) Donald Whitcomb led a study tour through northern Egypt and Jordan, including his own site at Aqaba. Most of the year was devoted to a restructuring of the Travel Program, as we strive to develop a package of services that use the Institute's resources and serve the needs of members. In addition to offering Institute-only departures to North American museums and popular destinations like Egypt, the Travel Program will also sponsor study tours - still led by Oriental Institute faculty or staff - jointly with other units of the University, or with other institutions. By combining forces on less-frequented destinations like Iran and Syria, the Institute can offer the insights of its scholars to members at a reasonable cost.
This joint-sponsorship program has already resulted in the announcement of tours to Turkey in October 1997 (in cooperation with the Center for Middle Eastern Studies) and Iran in April 1998 (in cooperation with Geographic Expeditions). In addition, the Institute is making its travel services available to other groups on campus for special tours. The first such departure will occur in February 1998, when John Larson leads a group of University of Chicago Women's Board members to Egypt. Finally, the Travel Program offers consultation and advice to Associate and Breasted level members who wish to visit the Near East, free of charge.
There are three innovations to report on the Membership publications front. First, in October 1996, the Membership and Publications Offices collaborated on the inaugural Members Book Sale, during which most publications of the Oriental Institute were sold at 40% discount. The sale proved very popular, as 233 books were sold to members as near as the University of Chicago campus and as far as Australia. Second, after a hiatus of several years, institutional memberships in the Oriental Institute are now available. Libraries, universities, and research centers around the world may now join the Institute to receive copies of News & Notes and the Annual Report. In the first six months of the project, fourteen such institutions have subscribed. Lastly, the content and format of News & Notes was substantially overhauled at the end of the year. Each of the Institute's departments will have a section in every issue to inform members of new developments, research advancements, and special offers and resources. The calendar and registration forms will now be perforated for easy removal. The first issue incorporating these changes was News & Notes 155 (Fall 1997).
The Membership Office benefited from the cooperation of many members of faculty and staff, who volunteered time and expertise to various projects. I would in particular like to thank Tom Holland, Tom Urban, Christopher Kahrl, Emily Teeter, John Larson, Denise Browning, John and Peggy Sanders, Chuck Jones, and Tony Wilkinson.
